The Madras High Court strongly objected to allegations of judicial bias made during the hearing on the cancellation of the interim bail granted to YouTuber-journalist Savukku Shankar. The court warned that mudslinging against judges would not be tolerated.
Today, on 20th January, The Supreme Court dismissed YouTuber Savukku Shankar’s plea seeking unsealing of his Chennai office and return of seized devices in an assault and extortion case. Justices Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra Sharma advised approaching the judicial magistrate.
The Madras High Court declined to hear YouTuber Savukku Shankar’s plea to defreeze bank accounts and return seized devices, directing him to instead seek relief before the jurisdictional magistrate after his arrest over alleged assault and ₹2-lakh extortion.
